You’re crazy excited about your well planned and expensive Caribbean vacation & then… a Huff & a Puff… blown away by a big bad hurricane!*&%$?

Well, Practical, Fiddler and Fifer, not all Caribbean islands are prey to the Big Bad Hurricane Wolf.

In a nutshell:  Hurricane season (June thru November) rarely hits below the belt (the hurricane belt that is), and Curaçao is definitely below, leaving it a prime place to land – and avoid those pesky vacation-ruining hurricanes!

So, where to stay to avoid hurricanes?

If you get bored relaxing on the amazing beaches of Curacao, you can take in some culture with a complimentary shuttle to the colorful capital city of Willemstad and enjoy its European influence.

Oh, and be sure to ask the locals about:

  • Traditional folkloric Curaçaoan waltz
  • Rock Climbing at the Three Brothers

About Stevie McQueene 9 Articles
Now that her kids are grown, Stevie McQueene is enjoying her second life as an writer who is willing to go anywhere for a good story, but prefers that "anywhere" be an all-inclusive resort and the "good story" to be one about spas. Or food. Or wine. Or some combination of those three. When not doing 'research' from a beach chair, Stevie can usually be found satisfying her daily salt intake requirements in the ocean waves, or a bottomless margarita.
